Month: May 2017

The studio looks rather bare but that doesn’t mean work hasn’t been going on in there! Team LV18 has been busy running new cables, installing cable management, removing redundant equipment and generally preparing the studio for Radio Mi Amigo in July.

Our 2016 broadcast achieved listener figures of 20,000 over 9 days, that’s more than the readership of many local newspapers. Radio advertising works, the success of commercial radio is a testament to that.

If you’re considering advertising on Radio Mi Amigo in July, head over to the Radio Advertising page where you’ll find the details. If you’re unsure, call or email, we have the resources to make an effective advert for you if you can’t provide your own audio.

We have a special offer for early bookings, spend over £200 on an advertising package and we’ll include your logo on our handout and on this website’s front page. Terms and conditions apply, see the Advertising page for details.

The BBC & Pharos Trust are pleased to confirm that the LV18 will again be the host for Pirate BBC Essex. The station will run 12th to 14th August 2017 and will mark, on 14th August, the 50th anniversary of the Marine Offences Act which closed most pirate radio stations.

Keith Skues will present his Sunday late show from the LV18, with other weekend shows to be confirmed.

Yesterday Harwich lost a dear friend and character. Without Carly we would not have the LV18 Lightship here on the Quay for all to enjoy. Of that there is no no doubt. His kindness, friendship and dedication to the project knew no bounds and we will miss him dearly. Seldom have the people of Harwich been so stunned by the loss of somebody who was, in every sense, a true local character who helped each of us to make Harwich the fine town that it is. We shall not see the likes of him again and we were all blessed to have known him. RIP Carly, dear friend. Tony O'Neill. ...
